Chapter 154, Snow Fog (3)
The next morning, just after dawn, the soldiers were cooking in the camp, and Sig got up early to patrol the camp.
Snowflakes that were almost the size of a palm fell in the sky at some point, and it took less than an hour to completely bury the traces of last night's battle under the deep snow.
Sigur glanced at the white sky and the majestic snow-capped mountains, and secretly made a decision in his heart.
"Dios, gather all the mid-level generals to my tent."
"Yes! My lord. ”
A moment later, all the mid-ranking officers of the 3,000-strong lion cub gathered in Sig's tent.
These people were in good spirits, and all of them had young faces.
The name "Lion Cubs" is the name of the people of the Misty Lands for their own soldiers.
According to legend, there are 10,000 "lion cubs" and 1,000 "silver riders" under the seat of the Duke of Silver Lion. And these people are the core strength of his sweeping Liuhe and expanding the territory.
I saw Sig surround the crowd and said in a deep voice: "I have a plan, and I called you here today to ask for everyone's opinions." ”
No one spoke, but they all looked at their duke.
Sieg continued: "I'm going to pick an elite squad to go into battle with me lightly, follow the example of the enemy last night, wear white clothes and white cloaks, and make a detour up the mountain under the cover of heavy snow. I hope to kill the mysterious man behind the enemy in one blow! That way we won't be as passive in the next battle as we were last night. After all, as time goes on, the temperature in the Cold Mountains will only get cooler and colder. At that time, our armor will cease to be an advantage and become a burden. ”
"My lord! Let me go! ”
As soon as Sigur finished speaking, Dios stood up for the first time and smashed his own breastplate with his fist to ask for his life.
"Lord Duke! I got it! ”
Another young officer stepped forward.
Sieg looked at them and pressed his hands slightly: "You all sit down, I will personally lead the secret beheading operation this time." In addition, you are to make the illusion of a protracted war in this place, in order to attract the attention of the enemy to me. Dios, the safety of the soldiers in my absence is up to you. ”
"My lord! You must not go behind enemy lines and take risks! If you have any damage, we can't afford it! ”
Dios wanted to speak, but Sieg had reached out to stop him.
"I've made up my mind! Now go down and select a hundred of the most elite Silver Riders around you. Don't forget to wear armour, just put on a white cotton coat and a white cloak, and bring enough dry food for two days, and we will travel lightly day and night to try to return to the camp in three days. Whether the decapitation operation is successful or not, I will come back! Rest assured. ”
Sigurt has a great reputation in the army, and as long as it is his decision, no one will usually raise objections.
Since the current manager insisted, Dios stopped talking.
After everyone dispersed, Rebecca ran out of the compartment and asked anxiously, "You want to take people deep in person?" ”
"Yes, we can't drag it out any longer. For every additional day spent here, the lives of soldiers are threatened. And the enemy is getting more and more cunning and more difficult to deal with, and I can't let this state of affairs continue to be serious! I have to find out who is behind the scenes.... He must not be simple! ”
Rebecca knew that she couldn't give him much advice when it came to fighting the war.
She frowned and bit her lip, and was able to remove a pendant from her neck and put it around her man's neck.
"This is the amulet that Aunt Colin has worn for me since I was a child, and I will officially give it to you today. When you see it, you'll know that I'm still at home waiting for you to come back, and you must come back safely! ”
Sieg held his lover's hand and nodded, "Of course I'll come back safely!" Our wedding has not yet taken place, and I will have many princesses and princes with you. Then I will teach my sons how to ride horses and dance swords, and you will teach my daughters..."
At this point, Sieg paused suddenly. Only then did he realize that Rebecca was not a noble woman in the traditional sense, and she did not know the etiquette between nobles, and even danced the court dance in a mess. Daughter handed over to her? What can she teach her children? Winemaking?
Sieg couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this, and Rebecca seemed to know what he was laughing at, and angrily punched the other man twice in the chest.
The two hugged each other without a word, and at one point Sieg let go of his lover and turned to walk out of the camp.
In the camp, a hundred silver cavalry guards were quickly assembled. They all have cold faces and resolute eyes! In addition to a white cotton jacket, he was wrapped in a white hooded cape, with a white sword hanging from his waist, and a white ** in his cuffs.
Although the combat power is still unknown, this appearance and appearance alone have already crushed the armies of other kingdoms on the continent.
Sigurt also took off his cuirass and changed into a white coat and cape. He lifted his hood and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" ”
None of the Silver Rider guards spoke, and they all silently followed behind the duke, quickly disappearing into the depths of the snowy mountains.
Dios looked at the hundred people who were soon covered in heavy snow, and there was some apprehension in his heart.
But soon, he adjusted his mood, turned around and commanded loudly: "Everyone cheer me up!" Someone came to vacate a few wagons and pulled me to the outskirts of the camp to make the illusion that the transportation was heavy! We want to attract the attention of the enemy as much as possible for the adults! Do you hear that? ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers responded loudly.
Sigur is no stranger to the cold mountains that stand in the northern part of the Mistlands.
He remembered that almost for as long as he could be sensible, there had always been rumors of snow barbarians invading the border. It's just that at that time, there were still sporadic small group incidents, and I don't know when these wild people in the snow-capped mountains have formed a huge group.
Sigo guessed that there must have been a great leader among them, and this is why these wild men must have been unified.
If you don't get rid of this person, let alone complete your dream, it will be a problem to keep the backyard of this home!
This time, the army was dangerous, and he also thought about it twice, not a momentary brain fever.
As the saying goes, although it is a risky move in the use of soldiers, the results are often the greatest! And right now, he doesn't want to drag the other party into the deep winter season. Once it gets to that point, the armor they usually wear can be frozen on their bodies and can't be taken off! And fighting in an ultra-low temperature environment, the blood of the fighters seems to freeze instantly, let alone wielding swords.
The snow-capped barbarians are different, they have lived there for many years, and they are not only accustomed to the temperature there, but also have a strong ability to resist the cold!
Sieg once had the court alchemist dissect the corpse of a wild man, and they found that the skin of these people was unusually rough and thick, almost three to four times that of a normal person!
If he wants to be able to have such a skin, I'm afraid it will take countless years of evolution to get the effect, right? I don't know why these barbarians in the snowy mountains are so crazy to attack his territory? Could it be that they can't stay in the snowy mountains anymore?
With such a question, Sieg led a surprise attack team of 100 people day and night. When they are hungry, they nibble on compressed bread, and when they are thirsty, they take a sip of melted snow. Even if you're tired, you can't stop! Because in this case, once you fall asleep, you will probably never wake up.....
After a day and a night of trekking, Sig led the surprise attack team to finally discover the traces of these barbarians in the snowy mountains!
First they found a temporary camp and an unburned campfire for the Snow Barbarians, and then found each other's sentry station in a mountain col!
While he couldn't understand what the barbarians were saying, Seeger was sure that they had indeed become more organized and disciplined.
Moreover, these sentries also implemented a rotation system, which is very similar to the soldiers under their own command.
He knew that the mysterious leader of the other party was most likely imitating his own method of governing the army. If he couldn't stop all this in time, he really couldn't imagine what would happen after that.
A personal guard quietly touched Sige's side and whispered: "I have found out, there are a total of seven people in this sentry station on the other side, of which six are sentries and one is the sentry chief." They scout the place in three shifts, just like us. ”
It seems that their own guards have already seen that the other party is deliberately imitating them.
But since it's a parody, they can also use this to easily avoid the other party's scouting gaze!
Even if the barbarians become smart in an instant, it is not easy to master these methods of military management in a short time. After all, in terms of tactical literacy, there is a huge gap between the two sides.
Sieg commanded in a low voice, "Don't startle the snakes, let's go around the side while they change the guard." You can also follow the traces they left behind to find each other's base camp. ”
The guard nodded, and stepped back to deliver the commander's order. Sieg, on the other hand, took out a telescope from his bosom that Klose had given him and observed the enemy's movements.
Even at this time, he did not forget to praise two sentences: Klose produced a lookout mirror that was more than twice as good as the one he originally used! The portrait in the lens is so clear that it seems to be touchable by the tentacles, how did that guy make such a good lookout scope?
Soon, as he expected, the other party even had the same time as them.
Taking advantage of the break in the changing of the guard, Higg bypassed the watchtower and continued to touch the depths of the mountain.
